just to add some info. rememember this is case sensitive and spaces do
matter, sometimes (depending on your goals) the following will apply :
$good_names = array('jim','philip','sasheen');
$my_name = 'PHiliP';
if (in_array(trim(strtolower($my_name)),$good_names))
and, another good function is array_keys and array_search. see :
http://www.php.net/array
